BASKETBALL MOE

Conditions of entry

ALL REGISTRATIONS MUST BE PAID ROUND 1

1. Zero Tolerance

Unsportsmanlike behaviour will not be tolerated. All referees will enforce this as it deters spectator and new players wishing to play and intimidates younger player and could also teach them bad habits. It is up to the more experienced players to set an example.

2. Registrations

These must be paid in full before any player takes the court. If an unregistered player is found to have taken the court, that game will count as a forfeit. Round 1 if an unpaid player takes the court, the game will not count. If they take the court in ROund 2 the game will count as a forfeit and a fine will be imposed.

3. Uniforms

 All players will be in correct uniform by round 3. If not they will not be able to take the court. New players are given 1 weeks grace. Shorts with pockets are not acceptable. All shorts must be the same colour; if not, 5 points will be awarded to the opposition team. No T-Shirts are to be worn under uniforms. All numbers must be approved numbers for basketball. These are 4-15, 20-25, 30-35, 40-45, and 50-55. Please note that 00 is not an approved number. Any change to team colours must go through the match committee. Any new teams must get approval for team colours.

4. Player Lists

 All players must be on the scoresheet. Any player on the sheet and not present must be removed from the sheet at the end of the game. All players are eligible to take the court at anytime provided they are on the scoresheet before the second half begins. If not they will not take the court after half time.

5. Late Start

 One point per minute will be awarded to the opposition team for late starts. The timing rule starts from the appointed game time.

 6. Fill In Players

 A fill in player is permitted only to stop a forfeit. The fill in can be from any grade. If a 4th player turns up to play later, the fill in must leave the court once the 4th player can be substituted on. They must also be a registered and affiliated player.

7. New Players

 Any team wishing to register a new player after the start of the season must get Match Committee approval and pay registration before said player takes the court. If this is not done the game will count as a forfeit. WA and MA are excluded from this rule but new players in this grade must pay registration before taking the court.
